Between 1942-44 the protection of the gathering place for merchant ships laden with goods bound for northern Russia required major infrastructure to prevent attack by German U-boats and shipping. This guided walk will examine the visible remains of the large WWII military base where the enormous steel nets which crossed the loch were maintained. The nearby anti-aircraft battery will also be visited.
